Want to buy a land and later construct a house over it

Hello everyone,

I am a newbie and planning to buy land and later build a 2-bedroom detached home over it. Could anyone shed some light on the average total construction cost and things to keep in mind when buying a piece of land and the pitfalls of constructing your home by yourself?
I know it is an open-ended question and any suggestion would be appreciated.

P.S. if this is not the correct website for this question, could someone suggest a good one?

Cheers,
DD.

Right now could be the worst time to build a house. Material costs are extremely high and supply is also scarce. You may start with a well planned budget but will definitely end with a delayed project and way over-budget.
